Background

I wrote my first line of code at 14 and started my first company at 17. Over the last 24 years, I've built across every layer of the stack—from backend distributed systems across media, telecommunications, and fintech, to pioneering AI in banking before the GPT era. Today, I leverage this deep technical intuition to design enterprise AI ecosystems, including sovereign LLM infrastructure and multi-agent orchestration.

Mission

My mission is to use AI to make people “multithreaded.” We live in an era where software development and business processes are being fundamentally rewritten. I build agentic systems that handle the repetitive, the tedious, and the time-consuming loops of execution. By delegating execution to AI agents, I empower both professionals and individuals to reclaim the bandwidth for what actually matters: strategic decisions, creativity, meaningful relationships, and life itself.

I am obsessed with reshaping the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle). I help organizations transition from traditional coding to supervising high-speed AI workflows—creating efficient software houses where leaders lead better and teams ship faster.

I still write code every day—Kotlin, Python, Java—because the best architects never stop building. I treat my learning process as a “push commit” to my own brain, and through my YouTube channel and podcast, I share that diff with the world—breaking down everything from Transformer mathematics to the architecture of production-grade agentic systems.

Things I work with every day.

24 years of building.

My professional journey — from first lines of code at 14 to enterprise AI architecture today.

2024 — Present

Built an AI Company from Zero

Created an enterprise AI subsidiary from the ground up. Multiple product squads. Multi-agent orchestration (A2A, MCP). Sovereign AI platform with on-prem LLMs. Full product & technology strategy ownership in a regulated fintech environment under EU AI Act compliance.

2022 — 2024

Engineering at Scale in International Fintech

Payment processing systems serving millions of users. Designed an incident response framework adopted company-wide. Began exploring AI/LLM applications: code generation tools, intelligent Slack bots, internal automation that sparked a deeper AI journey.

2018 — 2022

AI Before the Hype

Built a voice assistant with NLP for one of Poland’s largest banks — customers executing real transactions via voice, before ChatGPT existed. Led multiple backend teams from scratch. Migrated monoliths to microservices. Proved that AI in banking was possible when most said it wasn’t.

2012 — 2021

Founded & Scaled a Software Company

Started a software house and grew it into a multi-team engineering organization. Delivered dozens of platforms and hundreds of components across IoT, CRM, and digital services for media & entertainment, telecommunications, fintech, and energy sectors. Full CEO responsibility: hiring, architecture, sales, P&L.

2006 — 2012

Poland’s First E-Invoice System

Architected one of Poland’s first e-invoice systems for a major telecom. HSM devices for mass digital signatures. Grew from first developer to leading a full engineering team. Built technical standards that foreshadowed the national KSeF system years later.

2002

Started at 17

Founded first company at age 17. Websites and e-commerce for local businesses. Self-taught from age 14 — driven by curiosity about how things work under the hood. That same curiosity still drives everything I build and teach today.

I design it, build it, and lead the team that ships it.

AI & System Architecture

I turn complex business problems into systems that scale, stay compliant, and survive the next technology shift. Whether it’s an AI platform under EU AI Act constraints, a payment system handling millions of transactions, or a sovereign infrastructure where data never leaves your servers — I design for reality, not for demos.

Hands-on Code & Delivery

I don’t just draw diagrams — I push commits, review PRs, and debug production issues alongside the team. Kotlin, Python, Java, every day. This means I make architecture decisions grounded in real code, catch problems before they reach staging, and speak the same language as the engineers I work with.

Engineering Leadership

I’ve built every team I’ve ever led — from the first hire to a full engineering organization. I know what it takes to attract strong engineers, set up career paths that retain them, and create a culture where ownership isn’t a buzzword. When I lead, teams ship faster and people grow.
